Globally, winter cold kills more people than summer heat, and winter in Central Asia is no gentle visitor. Temperatures can plummet to minus 40°C (-40°F), transforming bustling cities into frozen landscapes and testing the limits of human endurance. Rich in history and diverse in geography, the region is also known for biting cold that tests the resilience of its inhabitants. The winter struggle is especially intense in rural areas, where shelter and other infrastructure are often … [Read more...]
Is the Bell Tolling for EV Mania?
Electric vehicles have been all the rage among politicians at least since President Barack Obama’s first term in office, but they’ve never really caught on among the unwashed masses, who actually want their cars to deliver them to their destinations in comfort in a timely fashion, toting everything and everyone they might want to take along, without blowing up while parked and burning down their residences in the process. In truth, EVs had been tried and rejected long before that, largely … [Read more...]
What’s Wrong with “Natural Asset Companies”?
In January the Securities and Exchange Commission withdrew a proposal to list and regulate “natural asset companies,” which would have allowed such companies to be listed on the New York Stock Exchange, allowing them to raise investment capital through the stock market. The Cornwall Alliance applauds that decision but also expects that those who supported the proposal will be back again in the future, promoting something different in name but largely the same in substance. Consequently, … [Read more...]
A Review of Hugh Ross’s Weathering Climate Change
In September of 1920, shortly after Hugh Ross’s book Weathering Climate Change was published, a prominent Christian leader asked me what I thought of it. Not long after that, two other prominent Christian leaders asked me the same question. Here is how I responded: "I’ve read, over the past 15 years or so, over 50 complete books (and parts of 100 or more others) and many thousands of articles, hundreds peer reviewed, on the science, and over 30 books (and parts of 20 or so others) … [Read more...]
Climate Goals Undermining Global Poverty Reduction
Industry group Energy Transfer has gone on offense in a series of ads highlighting the critical importance of fossil fuels in everyday life. It’s about time the industry stopped playing defense. The ads, however, focus on how fossil fuels have created modern industrial societies. Not everyone has energy abundance. Much of the world suffers from energy poverty, which is largely why those regions suffer from abject penury, hunger, and preventable premature deaths.Over the decades I’ve been working … [Read more...]
The Next Big Climate Scare: Counting Climate Change Deaths
The next big climate scare is on the way. Advocates of measures to control the climate now propose that we begin counting deaths from climate change. They appear to believe that if people see a daily announcement of climate deaths, they will be more inclined to accept climate change policies. But it’s not even clear that the current gentle rise in global temperatures is causing more people to die. In December, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton spoke at COP28, the 28th United … [Read more...]
Precise Temperatures But No Thermometers?
In early January, Roy Spencer and John Christy reported that:“And, as calendar year values go, 2023 was the warmest of the 45-year record with an average of +0.51 °C (+0.92 °F) outdoing 2016 which finished that year at +0.39 °C (+0.70 °F). This calendar year was also warmer than any other 12-month period which before 2023 was Dec 2015 to Nov 2016 at +0.41 °C (+0.73 °F). Because early 2023 was much cooler than now, we can expect further 12-month records over the next few months.”They also … [Read more...]
Childless China: Coercive Population Plan Implodes
The following is a guest article by Jon Miltimore. Kenneth Emde of Minnesota, who came of age during the Swinging Sixties, recently explained why he is childless today. “I was a college student when I read [Paul] Ehrlich’s The Population Bomb,” he said in a letter published by the Wall Street Journal. “I took it to heart and now have no grandchildren, but 50 years later the population has increased to eight billion without dire consequences. I was gullible and … [Read more...]
America’s Energy Scam: A Deliberate Exploitation of Humanity that Only Increases Emissions!
America is aggressively pursuing “green” electricity and actively phasing out crude oil to reduce emissions generated in America by deliberately increasing the worldwide exploitation of humanity, environmental degradation, and, ironically, the very emissions they aim to reduce. California Governor Gavin Newsom, President Joe Biden, and world leaders are not cognizant enough to know that wind turbines and solar panels only generate occasional electricity and are unable to manufacture tires, … [Read more...]
Carbon Dioxide and Air Temperature: Who Leads and Who Follows?
In the era of climate change, this age-old question has received a new facelift. Now it becomes—Which came first: The rise in carbon dioxide or the rise in air temperature? Since the dawn of climate change alarmism, we have been told that carbon dioxide is the driver of climate change. Increase carbon dioxide, and consequently, air temperature increases. So, if we decrease the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, it stands to reason that global warming will be abated. It’s just that … [Read more...]
